Deoxys raises its tentacles and creates hundreds of copies of itself. The copies are purple in color and have no pupils. The copies then do whatever the user tells them to do. When the copies are hit, they disintegrate.

Accelgor crosses its arms and its entire body starts to glow white. It then opens its arms and it creates four copies of itself. When the copies shoot through the air, they leave behind a light blue stream of energy.

When Manectric is about to get hit by an attack, it jumps out of the way, jumping so fast that it leaves behind an afterimage. When the opponent attacks the afterimage, Manectric stomps on it using one of its paws.
